WASHINGTON - China is supporting Russia's war effort in Ukraine by helping Moscow ramp up its defense production through large amounts of machine tools, microelectronics, drone and cruise missile technology, senior U.S. officials said on Friday.

In 2023, 90 per cent of Russia’s microelectronics imports came from China, which Russia has used to produce missiles, tanks, and aircraft, US officials said.

One official said Chinese materials are filing critical gaps in Russia's defence production cycle and helping Moscow undertake its"most ambitious defence expansion since the Soviet era and on a faster timeline than we believed possible early on in this conflict." They sketched a wide array of ways China is helping Russia's two-year war against Ukraine without providing lethal assistance.
